Hi all,

I have a problem with a game i am playing on Facebook.

The game is; Farm Heroes Saga The Firefox Version; The latest

When i want to buy something in this game, the website is sending me to Ideal in a new pop-up window. Thats oke, but then it is saying that i am busy with multiple payments, and thats not the case. bottom line, i cannot buy stuff on Facebook.

When i tried with Google Chrome, it works like a charm but i still don't think this is good because Chrome is maybe ignoring some security measures witch Firefox is not.

Can you help me with this?

Thanks! :)
